With the introduction of a more eclectic menu, Witts is now the perfect place to nosh on crowd-pleasers such as truffle fries with lemon zest and onion aioli, or a dry-aged Angus burger topped with Applewood-smoked bacon and a fried egg. You’ll also find lighter options including flatbreads or marinated Barramundi fish tacos.

Our diverse selection of nearly 70 craft and Belgian beers complement any dish, and are perfect to kick back and catch the latest game. Sustainable and organic wines by the glass offer an option for a quaffable treat.
